Stochastic Model And Analysis Of The Dynamics Of Tuberculosis | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
In this work a stochastic model is developed and analyzed for the dynamics of Tuberculosis. The model, which is a multidimensional diffusion process, includes susceptible, latent, infected and treated or recovered individuals. The model used in this work was based on a deterministic model. The model was modified by introducing
Towards Elimination Of Hiv/aids In Nigeria: An Optimal Control Model | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
The main purpose of this paper is to find the optimal control strategy for the elimination of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. Using contemporary strategies in control of HIV in Nigeria such as counseling and condom use, we formulated the optimal control problem. The existence for the optimal control is established and
An Optimization Model For The Control Of Cholera | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
In this paper, we presented a mathematical model for the optimal control of cholera. Investigating the best means of reducing the final size of the epidemic, we introduced three time dependent controls namely, provision of clean water, social distancing and treatment. Using optimal control theory we developed an objective functional
Modeling The Optimal Control Of Malaria: Anti-mosquitoes Techniques | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa and in many other regions of the world. The disease kills at least one African child in every minute. Malaria is a vector borne disease transmitted by the female anopheles mosquito in the process of feeding on human
Mathematical Analysis Of A Mass Action Model | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
We presented and analyzed a mass action model with vital dynamics. This type of model is suitable for many childhood diseases like Mumps, Rubella and other highly contagious diseases like influenza. We showed that the region in which the model makes biological sense is positively invariant, this means that any
Application Of Homotopy Analysis Method To Painleve’s Equation 1 | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Mathematics | Jun,2015
Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is a semi-analytic method developed to solve linear and non-linear problems. In this paper, HAM is applied to a nonlinear problem of Painleve’s equation 1. HAM provides us with a convenient way to control the convergence of approximation series. It gives approximate analytical solutions which are
Comparison Of Dietary Practices Among Pre-school Children In Households Practicing And Not Practicing Irrigation In Turkana County, Kenya | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Public Health | Jun,2015
Turkana County is a region of soils of high agricultural potential but aridity hinders its exploitation. It is characterized by scarce, erratic rainfall patterns. In the Kenya Vision 2030, increasing land under irrigation is one of the key areas under agriculture sector. It aims at improving food security and household
Causes Of Industrial Conflict In The Nigerian Civil Service: A Study Of Anambra State Civil Service Between 1979 And 1989 | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Sociology | Jun,2015
Abstract
Before and after colonialism, industrial conflicts have been a prominent feature in the Nigerian labour history. This is evidence in private and public work sectors. Majority of these conflicts have ended up is strike actions. This has adverse consequences on the nation’s industrial growth and development. Previous studies paid attention
Local Government Administration And The Challenge Of Harnessing The Potentials Of Rural Women In Nigeria | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Sociology | Jun,2015
The global issue of gender inequality has become a severe impediment to the realization of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Nigeria. The paper is intended to highlight the enormous tasks challenging local government administration in Nigeria towards harnessing those positive potentials which have been suppressed due to the influence of
Factors Influecing Loan Repayment Among Small-scale Farmers In The North-eastern Part Of Yobe State, Nigeria | | Researchjournali's Journal Of Agriculture | May,2015
The study was conducted to asses the factors influencing credit repayment among small- scale farmers under North East Arid Zone Development Programme(NEAZDP). One hundred and eighty (180) NEAZDP loan beneficiaries were randomly selected The result of regression analysis showed that farm income and household size were positively significant at
